How many times have we been asked that in the last few days? Practically all of us are able, by the time we reach Goshen College, to spew forth the name our mother gave us and a certain locale. These are necessary details that are good in classifying and cataloguing people in our minds. However, we too often make the fatal mistake of "knowing" our fellow humans when we actually are quite ignorant of the real individual. Do we as individuals make an effort to really become acquainted with our fellow students and faculty members? It takes such little effort to classify according to a person's home community, the clothes they wear and the gang or clique into which they happen to fall. It is inevitable as Goshen grows that we all will have to find a small primary group. Vole need this, whether it is our roommate, professor or close friend. However, the point to be made is this we should not exclude the acquaintance of some personality for the sake of social security. If our group prohibits the absorption of someone a little different from ourselves, it is past time to evaluate our status in our little society and to do something constructive about it. Let's assert our individualism. God gave us our distinctive personalities for a reason. One of them was for the enrichment of our common home sapiens. Before we fall into the common rut of the gang, let's give others the opportunity of knowing us and make an effort to know others. The next time someone asks who you are, give them a chance to find out.

Marquis NOTE: (Joe Jidbitt of Stench, Ohio, first enrolled at Goshen College as a freshman In the fall of 1939. Unfortunately, International strife, financial ills, marriage and a subsequent brood of eleven children, plus Occasional failure to meet the prescribed scholastic standards of the school somewhat delayed young Jidbitt's pursuit of a BS degree! Nevertheless, he kept plugging away and has enrolled this fall as a second semester senior and has expressed an ardent desire to "finish up this term." Such spirit struck us as being so noteworthy that we have taken the liberty of prevailing upon Jidbitt to write a few words as sort of an aid and abetment to new and other struggling students. The following waxation Is not necessarily the attitude of this school, or ourselves.) You probably all wonder what business has an old coot like Joseph Jerome Jidbitt got telling a bunch of young kids about the ups and downs of college life. Believe me, kids, it anybody should know. I should. Joe I. jidbitt 1 stand on my record as being enrolled In college for at least part-time for every one of the last nineteen years. 1 am a past vice-president of the Eternal Students League. I've made about all the mistakes a college student can make and then some. Once or twice I've made some good moves, I suppose, but that's getting off the subject. I'm here to give advice. FIrst of all you're here for one of several reasons
1. to void work, 2. to spend dad's money, 3. to look for a mate and 4. to seek an education. Nothing much further need be said about the first and last points. As for the "mate" deal-this is true of about 50% of today's students. The other 50% are Student What do yell think constitutes ", going steady" on the Goshen College campus and do yon think the present fucation on campus dating, Is, good? Cecelia Imhoff In me strictest sense of the tam, I suppose "going steady" means one per. son exclusively. However. a couple may be going steady, yet not going steady. Usually as soon as a couple has been seen together three or four times. they are automatically labeled as steady i would like to see more casuaI dating on campus. going "steady"-yes, but no hard and fast rule (as there has been) for "steadies" never to have a casuaI date. Verda hostetler — "going steady" seems to begin at the point of eating lunch and studying in the library with the chosen one which probably follows a former agreement between the couple. This seems to be a fairly simple Way to announce and Out , males. Those involved in this reason are incomprehensible to man, so I'll not disscuss It. That leaves spending dad's money. This is an acceptable way of killing the reckless years between 17th and 25th birthdays, unless you are one of the gifted persons who get through school in only four years. However, one thing should be impressed upon the begining student. Keep the source of your income away from the scene of your scholastic pursuits. He may decide that other work would suit you more aptly. 1 remember the first time my folks visited the campus. I took them on a little tour. It was only a matter of minutes before trouble started. "What's that building over there?" they inquired. "Oh. that, that's the Maintenance Building," I replied, looking at the brick structure that two years later 1 found out was the Library. "Why are all those students going In and out with books?" Mother asked. "i guess they work there." Dad nodded. We walked a little further and this knockout blonde passed and gave me a big smile. In, Joey, coming over tonight as usual?" 1 ignored her as mother commented: "Mary (the steady back home) sent some cookies. She says you must be studying awfully hard, you don't write much anymore." "Uh huh." I grunted uncomfortably. This near catastrophe had hardly ceased twanging my nerves when three of my never do well, disreputable looking buddies came sauntering down the main walk, singing and laughing. "Hi, Joe. Cards tonight?" i choked, "Hi, guys." And tried to look interested in something else. We use cards with verbs printed on them to study French." I explained to the folks. Dad nodded. Mother looked puzzled. Later we went around the town. This also Was a mistake. Passing a place named Barry's Pool Hall my mother exclaimed. "Oh, there's the little grocery store where the check we sent you came back from. What an odd name for a grocery store. Its so dark inside." Dad nodded. Well, I could go on from there, but what's the use. You have the point by now. If you ever need advice about the intricacies involved in higher education. don't hesitate to call on me. I keep office hours at Barry's . Forum "hands off," though others have. probably already complied prior to this. Involved In this pastime is the understanding that one is socially taken care of and the promlae of constant companionship and perhaps "for better or for worse". talus. Whether to say it is good or bad is hard to 8a)'. It dependa on which state you are in at the moment Sooner or later "going steady" II inevifaible though it is probably wiser to precede the "steadiness" with a fair amount of "casualness." Jim Frieke — From here. it looks like "going steady" is an agreement between a Party of the first part. with a party of the second part; resolving that there will not be a party of the third part. Seriously though, I Cove no qualms against" going steady in general, but here at G.C. there
Student Forum continued Is a tendency to stereotype a couple Into this category after just a few casual dates. Jon Clemens — Because of the Mennonite beliefs against jewelry, the practice of pinning or trading of rings to announce when couples are going steady Is not prominent. once this Is the case a girl Is often out of the dating circle as soon as she has three or four dates with one fellow, because other fellows are afraid they wi11 be butting In. Once a girl Is caught In this trap she cannot get out. I think fellows should be conscious of this act and help the poor weaker sex to keep free and In the dating circle. Keith Schrag — After a fellow and gal have been seen together regularly for a couple of weeks, i think of them as going steady, but some consider themselves to be "steadies" sooner. Others don't think themselves thus 'until later. Casual dating should receive a stronger emphasis In contrast to "going steady". I suggest a "twirp" week to "clue the guys In" on who Is a steady and who Is not. Dave Yoder — Several persons' views on the Idea of going steady last year dealt primarily with the security they felt while dating only one person. They said the certainty of having a date was well worth the sacrifice of general dating. There are definitely various views on this subject, but I presume the prevailing view Is that of "security." As to the present situation of dating on campus, I have heard some say, "What dating?" Bob Weaver — The term "going steady" seems to be an overworked phrase attached to dating. What constitutes going steady, In the eyes of observers, Is simply a boy and girl dating regularly which to them, at the time, seems to be all that matters. A person shouldn't be afraid of asking for a date when she has been seen with others. if the girl wants to go she will show It, and the same goes for the boy by asking a different girl.

Hot Corner This promises to be a good year for the athletes of Goshen College. Already most of the fall sports are In full swing. On the extramural scene, the tennis team started oft In good fashion by tripping two opponents, Manchester and Concordia. In baseball, the fall preview of the baseball team uncovered some prospective extramural material among the Freshmen. In Intramural softball, Frosh I lind Frosh 'II tangi. Monday, September 29, In the final "A" league game. Although Frosh II is the underdog, with the hustle they have shown In the opening games, they could pull a big upset. The Frosh I and Fresh II match traditionally Is a game which often finds the "secondstringers" on top. The climax to the whole softball season will be the Aurora-Adelphlan game. SO mark TUesday, September 30, In red letters on your calendar. With such an Intense rivalry this game should keep fans on the edge of their seats.

How many times have we been asked that in the last few days? Practically all of us are able, by the time we reach Goshen College, to spew forth the name our mother gave us and a certain locale. These are necessary details that are good in classifying and cataloguing people in our minds. However, we too often make the fatal mistake of "knowing" our fellow humans when we actually are quite ignorant of the real individual. Do we as individuals make an effort to really become acquainted with our fellow students and faculty members? It takes such little effort to classify according to a person's home community, the clothes they wear and the gang or clique into which they happen to fall. It is inevitable as Goshen grows that we all will have to find a small primary group. Vole need this, whether it is our roommate, professor or close friend. However, the point to be made is this we should not exclude the acquaintance of some personality for the sake of social security. If our group prohibits the absorption of someone a little different from ourselves, it is past time to evaluate our status in our little society and to do something constructive about it. Let's assert our individualism. God gave us our distinctive personalities for a reason. One of them was for the enrichment of our common home sapiens. Before we fall into the common rut of the gang, let's give others the opportunity of knowing us and make an effort to know others. The next time someone asks who you are, give them a chance to find out.

Marquis NOTE: (Joe Jidbitt of Stench, Ohio, first enrolled at Goshen College as a freshman In the fall of 1939. Unfortunately, International strife, financial ills, marriage and a subsequent brood of eleven children, plus Occasional failure to meet the prescribed scholastic standards of the school somewhat delayed young Jidbitt's pursuit of a BS degree! Nevertheless, he kept plugging away and has enrolled this fall as a second semester senior and has expressed an ardent desire to "finish up this term." Such spirit struck us as being so noteworthy that we have taken the liberty of prevailing upon Jidbitt to write a few words as sort of an aid and abetment to new and other struggling students. The following waxation Is not necessarily the attitude of this school, or ourselves.) You probably all wonder what business has an old coot like Joseph Jerome Jidbitt got telling a bunch of young kids about the ups and downs of college life. Believe me, kids, it anybody should know. I should. Joe I. jidbitt 1 stand on my record as being enrolled In college for at least part-time for every one of the last nineteen years. 1 am a past vice-president of the Eternal Students League. I've made about all the mistakes a college student can make and then some. Once or twice I've made some good moves, I suppose, but that's getting off the subject. I'm here to give advice. FIrst of all you're here for one of several reasons
1. to void work, 2. to spend dad's money, 3. to look for a mate and 4. to seek an education. Nothing much further need be said about the first and last points. As for the "mate" deal-this is true of about 50% of today's students. The other 50% are Student What do yell think constitutes ", going steady" on the Goshen College campus and do yon think the present fucation on campus dating, Is, good? Cecelia Imhoff In me strictest sense of the tam, I suppose "going steady" means one per. son exclusively. However. a couple may be going steady, yet not going steady. Usually as soon as a couple has been seen together three or four times. they are automatically labeled as steady i would like to see more casuaI dating on campus. going "steady"-yes, but no hard and fast rule (as there has been) for "steadies" never to have a casuaI date. Verda hostetler — "going steady" seems to begin at the point of eating lunch and studying in the library with the chosen one which probably follows a former agreement between the couple. This seems to be a fairly simple Way to announce and Out , males. Those involved in this reason are incomprehensible to man, so I'll not disscuss It. That leaves spending dad's money. This is an acceptable way of killing the reckless years between 17th and 25th birthdays, unless you are one of the gifted persons who get through school in only four years. However, one thing should be impressed upon the begining student. Keep the source of your income away from the scene of your scholastic pursuits. He may decide that other work would suit you more aptly. 1 remember the first time my folks visited the campus. I took them on a little tour. It was only a matter of minutes before trouble started. "What's that building over there?" they inquired. "Oh. that, that's the Maintenance Building," I replied, looking at the brick structure that two years later 1 found out was the Library. "Why are all those students going In and out with books?" Mother asked. "i guess they work there." Dad nodded. We walked a little further and this knockout blonde passed and gave me a big smile. In, Joey, coming over tonight as usual?" 1 ignored her as mother commented: "Mary (the steady back home) sent some cookies. She says you must be studying awfully hard, you don't write much anymore." "Uh huh." I grunted uncomfortably. This near catastrophe had hardly ceased twanging my nerves when three of my never do well, disreputable looking buddies came sauntering down the main walk, singing and laughing. "Hi, Joe. Cards tonight?" i choked, "Hi, guys." And tried to look interested in something else. We use cards with verbs printed on them to study French." I explained to the folks. Dad nodded. Mother looked puzzled. Later we went around the town. This also Was a mistake. Passing a place named Barry's Pool Hall my mother exclaimed. "Oh, there's the little grocery store where the check we sent you came back from. What an odd name for a grocery store. Its so dark inside." Dad nodded. Well, I could go on from there, but what's the use. You have the point by now. If you ever need advice about the intricacies involved in higher education. don't hesitate to call on me. I keep office hours at Barry's . Forum "hands off," though others have. probably already complied prior to this. Involved In this pastime is the understanding that one is socially taken care of and the promlae of constant companionship and perhaps "for better or for worse". talus. Whether to say it is good or bad is hard to 8a)'. It dependa on which state you are in at the moment Sooner or later "going steady" II inevifaible though it is probably wiser to precede the "steadiness" with a fair amount of "casualness." Jim Frieke — From here. it looks like "going steady" is an agreement between a Party of the first part. with a party of the second part; resolving that there will not be a party of the third part. Seriously though, I Cove no qualms against" going steady in general, but here at G.C. there
Student Forum continued Is a tendency to stereotype a couple Into this category after just a few casual dates. Jon Clemens — Because of the Mennonite beliefs against jewelry, the practice of pinning or trading of rings to announce when couples are going steady Is not prominent. once this Is the case a girl Is often out of the dating circle as soon as she has three or four dates with one fellow, because other fellows are afraid they wi11 be butting In. Once a girl Is caught In this trap she cannot get out. I think fellows should be conscious of this act and help the poor weaker sex to keep free and In the dating circle. Keith Schrag — After a fellow and gal have been seen together regularly for a couple of weeks, i think of them as going steady, but some consider themselves to be "steadies" sooner. Others don't think themselves thus 'until later. Casual dating should receive a stronger emphasis In contrast to "going steady". I suggest a "twirp" week to "clue the guys In" on who Is a steady and who Is not. Dave Yoder — Several persons' views on the Idea of going steady last year dealt primarily with the security they felt while dating only one person. They said the certainty of having a date was well worth the sacrifice of general dating. There are definitely various views on this subject, but I presume the prevailing view Is that of "security." As to the present situation of dating on campus, I have heard some say, "What dating?" Bob Weaver — The term "going steady" seems to be an overworked phrase attached to dating. What constitutes going steady, In the eyes of observers, Is simply a boy and girl dating regularly which to them, at the time, seems to be all that matters. A person shouldn't be afraid of asking for a date when she has been seen with others. if the girl wants to go she will show It, and the same goes for the boy by asking a different girl.
